BJ Upton
Miguel Cabrera
Adam Dunn
Matt Garza

 

[wideright]

Mark Teixeira
Jeff Bagwell
Mark Grace
Ron Guidry
Mickey Lolich

 

[cgilmo]

I am surprised Brad Wackerlin does not have Grace.

I am surprised Brad Wackerlin does not have Grace.

I was too. What's the deal with soon to expire... does the current sponsor have first dibs or does it become available to the first requester?

Sponsorship Renewals

The Baseball-Reference sponsorship system was launched in August of 2003, so many of you have received renewal notices for the pages that you have sponsored. Here are the steps necessary to renew your sponsorships.

(1)Return to your sponsorship account and click the "RENEW" link next to the page you wish to renew.

(2) If a payment is necessary, we will then guide you through the payment process. You are free to leave your message the same or change it as you see fit.
Your Sponsorship Account
Sponsoring Newly Expired or Newly Created Pages

Since not all pages will be renewed when they expire, and these will become available for sponsorship by other users, I will enact the following policy, in order to avoid a mad dash for these pages,

Upon their expiration, all pages will be priced $100 higher or three times their standard price whichever is less. Then each day, the price will be reduced by between $5 and $10 until they return to their standard price one to ten days following the expiration of the previous sponsorship. This policy will only be in effect for sponsorships a year in length. All of the recently expired pages.

For example, a page was priced at $65 in August 2003. It expired on September 8th, 2003. When it became available, it cost $165 to sponsor the page. This price dropped $10 per day to $155 to $145, etc. until it returned to the $65 level or someone decided to sponsor it at a higher price.

The same policy will be in effect for new pages added following the completion of a season. These pages will be started at $100 and then drop $10/day until they reach $10. Some highly desirable pages may be set at a higher initial value at BR's discretion.

screw all that then. Tex will be expensive. I say go with BJ.

Wow, what a racket :lol: jk

 

[MojoDan]

I like the idea of mauer as well
(to whomever mentioned him)

 

[cgilmo]

looks like this is coming down to


bj upton vs joe mauer

Sounds like a poll in is order...or...seeing as you are the headmaster here, you could just decide....

 

[moxacaine]

bj upton vs joe mauer

i didnt see mauer on either list.

 

[trademhigh]

Why can't Tex be in the poll?

 

[cgilmo]

Why can't Tex be in the poll?

because he isn't available

and when he is he will be several hundred dollars

Ah, I see. I thought I saw him on the list of people soon to available. I guess I'm seeing things today. And, even if he was available, a few hundred dollars would definitely be absurd.

[cgilmo]

Mauer = $75
Upton = $75
Carter = $45

 

[moxacaine]

Mauer = $75
Upton = $75
Carter = $45

I only see Upton on that list.

NVM, i found it. i was only looking at newly available.

 

[carlitoson]

Wow, I just noticed you could get both Stargell and Wilhelm (two HOF'ers) for the same price. :?

Edit...it would be a good year to have Stargell since this is the 30th anniversary of "We are Family". His page will probably get a lot of hits.
